The correct answer is A. To tell what action someone or something is performing

Explanation:

In language, verbs are commonly classified into action or linking verbs. Linking verbs such as be, feel, seem and become mainly expressed a state or condition of the subject connect it with other words that define it. On the other hand, action verbs directly express an action rather than a state or condition and because of this, they tell the reader the action that is performed by someone, examples of this verbs include the verbs cook, play, do, buy, love, read, etc. that express actions as in the sentence "Amy is cooking spaghetti" that describes the action Amy is performing. According to this, the main function of an action verb is to tell what action someone or something is performing.

vichka [17]

Answer:

The writer describes events in chronological order

Explanation:

It can be noticed that the writer describes events in chronological order because he/she is telling a story. Generally, In narrative writing, the narrator should follow a chronological order for the reader to understand the story. Obviously, not all stories are told chronological. In this particular case, the years mentioned (1808, 1810, 1812 and 1815) helps the reader to follow the story, as well as have a context.

Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B, but read the full explanation carefully. If you have an idea of your own, pick it.

Explanation:

It's none of these. Later on we learn that they are talking about fortune and luck. Hamlet makes a very nasty comment about the nature of luck whom he sees as a changeable woman who takes money for her favors (his words not mine). Rosenkranz and Guildenstern are in the middle which leads Hamlet to make another off color observation.

Given that background, you could almost pick any one of the choices, since    none of them are correct. I suppose if you take Guildenstern's initial couplet you could pick prosperity, but I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of this question didn't pick it. The quotation is taken out of context.

Whatever they are talking about is neither the top or the bottom. It is therefore in the middle. But before this speech, we learn that the two students are not doing well. Hamlet is trying to joke with them.
